You can apply a discount to a single line item, multiple line items, or entire transactions. You can also apply an award to a transaction.
Transaction-level discounts are applied in the same manner as a line item discount. A transaction discount is applied equally to each eligible item in the transaction, a line item discount is applied to a single item, and a group discount is applied to a group of selected items in a transaction. Discounts may be specified as either amounts (for example, $5.00 off) or percentages (for example, 10% off) for both item and transaction discounts.
Deal pricing discounts are automatically applied to items and transactions. No user interaction is required to apply a deal pricing discount to a transaction. Once the trigger it met, Xstore Point of Service applies the appropriate discount. There are many variations of deal discounts; for example, buy one get one free, or buy three items and get 10% off.

The award coupon list may be configured two ways:
Partial awards allowed:
The system automatically reduces the value of the selected coupon by the amount applied to the current transaction, up to the total amount due. For example, if $14.98 is applied from a $50.00 coupon, the coupon's remaining value is reduced to $35.02 and it may be applied to a different transaction later.
Partial awards not allowed:
The system automatically applies the entire value of the coupon, regardless of the amount due on the transaction. The coupon is removed from the list after it is applied to a transaction and may not be used again. For example, if the amount due is $25.00 and a $30.00 coupon is selected, the $5.00 difference cannot be used in a future transaction.
If you select more than one coupon and the combined total exceeds the amount due on the sale, a message displays. Press Enter and the system returns to the list of coupons where you may select a different coupon.
